Most of theliterature involving the use of ROVs consists of a study or report of the curriculum andexperiential design for that particular program.

This understanding is critical to ensuring that students from allbackgrounds are appropriately supported in pursuing their degrees and faculty are equipped todiscuss these topics with their students. In this pilot project, researchers from RowanUniversity’s College of Engineering and College of Education who were interested in exploringDEIJ implementation in the classroom in a cross-collaborative manner explored the followingresearch questions: (1) What level of relevance do faculty members place on DEIJ as part oftheir degree program curriculum? and (2) How do faculty members’ conceptions of DEIJcompare across disciplines?There is scant literature on faculty members' conceptions of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, andJustice

Amongthese professional development opportunities included a “Changing the Conversation” activity toprovide the RET participants with ideas on how to attract a more diverse group of students to thefield of engineering.24, 25 Since one of the main objectives of this program was to facilitate thetransfer of the engineering research activities into the teacher participants’ classrooms, asignificant component of the experience was curriculum development.

Keyfeatures of the proposed approach include hands-on experience, team-based project, and learner-centered education. A computer engineering course, offered mainly for senior and graduatestudents is used for the case study.Proposed ApproachA typical curriculum design consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, andevaluation activities, which are operationalized in specific tactics (Asaduzzaman et al., 2013;Dick et al., 1985; Gustafson et al., 2002; Hardre, 2003; Lunenberg, 2002; Richey et al., 2001,Seels et al., 1991; and Whitman et al., 2014).

Any junior level student could participate in the modified curriculum if they had fulfilledall the prerequisites for the replaced courses and they had not already taken one of the replacedcourses. This way the participants were prepared to learn the material but had not already beenexposed to it. Perrenet et al.
